Upcoming Opportunities at Free Minds

How do you enjoy an Austin summer? We suggest that you come in out of the soon to be *scorching* heat, and check out some of the great summer programming we’ve got lined up. Take a break from standing in front of your open freezer to sit and write with us in the coolness of the Community Engagement Center.

Master classes are free to attend and open to all Free Minds alums. Our summer writing workshop is open to all participants and is also free. Both of the following will be held at the CEC, 1009 East 11th Street.

USING READING TO INSPIRE YOUR WRITINGMaster class with Vive Griffith and Amelia Pace-BorahTuesday, June 26th at 7 pm

We’ll use this evening to generate new writing, expl0ring how we can use others’ created texts to launch us into our own creative work. Come engage in a series of free-writing exercises and reconnect with fellow Free Minds alums. No preparation is required, and you need only bring yourself. This is a great opportunity to meet new program coordinator Amelia Pace-Borah and get a sense of what our summer writing workshop will be like.
